hello yes there have been changes the previous owner wanted to switch to carburetors because the car was not working well but after thinking about leaving the injection I believe this person took the car to a wrong mechanic I bought this car in October 2019 but I immediately fell in love with it as soon as I saw it I was a bit reckless and hasty buying. Please write with clear and simple words for a good translation, unfortunately, I do not speak English and I have to do the translation please be patient [/ QUOT [/ QUOTE] yesterday I sent this order from rokauto we are awaiting the arrival of the material then let's see how the machine works

no the car never worked well when I took it, think it didn't have the original air filters but it had bigger filters than normal so i bought its original filters and the car started to run a little better but still does same problem after changing the filters, it almost seems that the car sucks air from somewhere, but only when I walk does it rev at 2500 rpm 2800 rpm, when I stop in neutral or parking the car works well

Yes, I understand. Will try to use basic language.
I too live in a foreign country.
None the less, in Australia they speak a version of English.
When you say "Walk". We all get confused.
I walk. My Cat walks. No car ever has "Walked".
Something wrong in the translation.
I am assuming you mean driving slowly.
If you car is "over revving" at low speeds. Perhaps yes, it could be your Idle air controller. But you say, "At idle " it runs fine.
perhaps you have a vacuum leak. Common on these cars. The Gasket under the throttle body can become rotten. And suck air. Causing this revving problem.

ha yes I understand, and possible yes, walking with the car I intend to travel kilometers go ahead with the car at 80 kilometers per hour, in Italy there are kilometers and no miles so I intend to walk with the car at 80 - 100 kilometers of speed and I have already explained to you how it works now I bought the book you told me on eBay and I wait a few days for it to arrive

here in italy the mechanics know well the Ferraris and the Lamborghini Maserati but unfortunately the corvettes do not the problem is that many mechanics do not know the English language

here in Italy the Ferrari is a normal car people don't turn to look like this also for the Maserati, while for the corvette people go crazy and then I'm in love with this car I really like the shapes of this car I don't want to have to sell it for a small problem, here the mechanics get paid a lot of money point no I spend where there is the problem then you start to change a component then another and another again without knowing what the real problem is

YES, the check engine light will flash. count the flashes slow flash, fast flash. This is all in the GM manual BTW.

and when I counted the flascs, I go to see how many flascs correspond to the book for example to code 12? and I see what the problem is it so?

I think it's cool that you are in Italy and are trying to fix and get to know your Corvette. I am a fan of Ferrari's also since I was a kid but I can imagine that it would be difficult to troubleshoot and fix this car. First is the language barrier, then the distance to get parts, and also this year 82 was a special year of Corvette because of the cross fire injection feature. This system makes it harder to troubleshoot and not many have the experience with it. You are in the right place though as anyone with knowledge of them is right here. Use the search feature of the forum also - lots of stuff here from over the years.

It's also going to be difficult for you to troubleshoot your car not being a mechanic since this year car is more complex. You may find yourself getting frustrated if you can't get it running right. There are many good suggestions above about replacing the sensors and checking all vacuum lines and reading the CEL codes. It is a primitive engine computer system and only has a few trouble codes and you must count the number of times it blinks to get the 'code'. Then look in the manual to see what it means. That's probably the best first step - see what it is saying - if anything.

Lastly, if you are completely frustrated with the crossfire injection system and don't care about originality, you can remove the entire fuel injection system, intake manifold, distributor and install a carburetor as many have done. Much simpler and many have experience with that. Just an option.

Keep at it and let us know how it goes.

Jim

thanks for the advice, I understand that here in this forum on this site I feel that people give me advice with all their heart and soul, I will treasure all the answers that all of you give me and write here, when I have the book I start to disassemble a few things and work on the corvette, I will keep you informed of how it will be and how the engine turns once the car is fixed, in the meantime I greet you all.👍
